Exceeding the specified
engine speeds while run-
ning in will lead to increased
engine wear.
Keep to the specified engine
speeds for running in.
During the running—in
phase, do not exceed the
speed limits specified for
the various gears.
Maximum speeds dur-
ing running-in period
35 km/h (1st gear)
55 km/h (2nd gear)
75 km/h (3rd gear)
95 km/h (4th gear)
110 km/h (5th gear)
No full—load acceleration.
Avoid low engine speeds at
full load.
Do not omit the first inspec-
tion after 500 — 1200 km.
Brake pads
New brake pads must "bed
down" and therefore do not
achieve their optimum friction
levels during the first 500 km.
You can compensate for this
initial reduction in braking ef-
ficiency by exerting greater
pressure on the levers.
New brake pads can ex-
tend stopping distance
by a significant margin.
Apply the brakes in good
time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth
surface. This must be
roughened by riding in a
restrained manner at various
heel angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in
procedure is essential if the
tyres are to achieve maximum
grip.
Tyres do not have their
full grip when new and
there is a risk of accidents at
extreme angles of heel.
Avoid extreme angles of
heel.
Park your motorcycle
Placing motorcycle on
side stand
If the ground is soft or
uneven, there is no guar-
antee that the motorcycle will
rest firmly on the stand.
Always check that the ground
under the stand is level and
firm.
Switch off the engine.
Pull the handbrake lever.
Hold the motorcycle upright
and balanced.
Use your left foot to extend
the side stand fully.
